I used to make this pre-lc days and recently ran across the recipe after quite some time. I was tickled to realize it was legal as could be!
2 chicken breasts*
3/4 c mayo
1/2 c shredded parmesan**
Powdered garlic, paprika
*To maximize "crustiness" on the surface area, I split the breasts lengthwise. Not totally necessary, but I think it gives more flavor.
** I always use fresh parmesan but I would think the powdery parmesan would probably work--no guarantees.
To prepare:
Wash and split breasts. Place in a well-buttered cake pan. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika (or any other seasoning that suites your fancy!).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayo and cheese. Spread liberally over each piece of chicken. Dust with paprika.
Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. It will turn golden and form a "crust".
I have seen similar posts, but not this exact one. It is so super easy and even my quitter ex-lcing DH loved it. While he was trying this WOL it was his favorite meal. -He gave up on the lc way...oh well, his loss--or gain!
At my calculation each piece (meaning both halves of one breast) is about 4 carbs. Adjust carb count to your own seasonings or if you add extra cheese.
PS- Have used different cheeses and they are okay, parmesan does work the best though!
I hope someone enjoys this!
